Use "my", not "your".
When you say "if I were you", you are speaking from the other person's perspective.
"My" is correct.
~If i were you, I would use MY/YOUR discretion.
Is it YOUR or MY?
And here:
~If i were you, I would call my/ your parents.
Use "my", not "your".
When you say "if I were you", you are speaking from the other person's perspective.
"My" is correct.

In both cases "your" is correct.
So, if I were you, I would use your! :-)

It depends on the context and what you wanna convey. So we could say both are right

You can say both thing. It depends on what you wanna say. If you wanna say the person should call their parents you use "your" but if you wanna say call my parents you have to use "my"
